1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1God, we have heard with our ears--our ancestors have told us--the work you accomplished in their days, in days long ago: |
2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2In order to plant them, you displaced the nations by your hand; in order to settle them, you brought disaster on the peoples. |
3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3For they did not take the land by their sword--their arm did not bring them victory--but by your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable toward them. |
4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4You are my King, my God, who ordains victories for Jacob. |
5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Through you we drive back our foes; through your name we trample our enemies. |
6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6For I do not trust in my bow, and my sword does not bring me victory. |
7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7But you give us victory over our foes and let those who hate us be disgraced. |
8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8We boast in God all day long; we will praise your name forever. Selah |
9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9But you have rejected and humiliated us; you do not march out with our armies. |
10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10You make us retreat from the foe, and those who hate us have taken plunder for themselves. |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11You hand us over to be eaten like sheep and scatter us among the nations. |
12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12You sell your people for nothing; you make no profit from selling them. |
13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13You make us an object of reproach to our neighbors, a source of mockery and ridicule to those around us. |
14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14You make us a joke among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples. |
15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15My disgrace is before me all day long, and shame has covered my face, |
16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16because of the taunts of the scorner and reviler, because of the enemy and avenger. |
17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17All this has happened to us, but we have not forgotten you or betrayed your covenant. |
18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Our hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from your path. |
19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19But you have crushed us in a haunt of jackals and have covered us with deepest darkness. |
20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20If we had forgotten the name of our God and spread out our hands to a foreign god, |
21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21wouldn't God have found this out, since he knows the secrets of the heart? |
22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Because of you we are being put to death all day long; we are counted as sheep to be slaughtered. |
23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Wake up, LORD! Why are you sleeping? Get up! Don't reject us forever! |
24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Why do you hide and forget our affliction and oppression? |
25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25For we have sunk down to the dust; our bodies cling to the ground. |
26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26Rise up! Help us! Redeem us because of your faithful love. |
